Think some of them have gone to the alps..

If no offers i could jump on a train and bob down for a bit of riding, in fact i think next weekend is free.

Si lives in Kingsbridge and should be back by then, so i'll look out for him on Msn and give him the heads up.

I can do a few dartmoor loops of me heed, but not at the same pace as that ride on the Tox we did, i seem to remember it being balls out for a few hrs...SS on Dartmoor might be a leisurely pace ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sharki - SS leisurely pace is fine by me (i won't be on my CX though!!!), i could collect you from Newton Abbot???

Bovey Tracey area works for me.

I'll not be able to confirm till midweek.

But will certainly be up for a ride with you whilst your down this way and it's a chance to get to Si's to look at a job.

Qwerty, How about an evening ride somewhere between The Avon Dam and Postbridge? I might have to be up at the Powdermills outdoor centre one or two evenings next week so I was planning to do a ride up there anyway. A night ride up the old tramway to Redlake is also a possibility.

I might be up for a weekend ride on Dartmoor on the 26th/27th I'll just have to check the domestic calendar to see if I'm free ๐Ÿ˜‰

BTW, if you're easily offended/intimidated then avoid Kingsbridge town centre next Wednesday lunchtime. I've got to have a tooth extracted and will be swearing & snarling at any vacuous, meandering, half-wit tourists who dare dawdle into my path as I head back up the hill from the dentists ๐Ÿ˜‰

EDIT * Eviljoe, just seen your post. You up for an evening ride too then?
